17th August 2017: Music Memory / Bretton Hall / Answered The Call

From a combination of some counselling this morning, and buzzes about A levels in the twitter place, my mind has been travelling a lot of different memories from my life today. This then prompted me to play certain music, which then prompted further memories which then prompted further memories which then prompted more music, on ever on. I am so thankful for this powerful connection between music and memory - this see-saw mechanism, providing infinite maps.

For part of this, I got lost thinking of the wonderful experience I had living

in the beautiful grounds surrounding Bretton Hall. Though I knew I was lucky to be somewhere so special at the time, the more I go on, the greater appreciation I have for that special place. Barcelona is an utterly distinct and incredible city. 

I am thankful to all those who helped the injured and affected people in Barcelona, the people in the shops that drew their blinds, and protected those fleeing.
